Hampton Inn Santa Barbara/Goleta

Old Town

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our two-night stay here. The hallway fan provided white noise, which helped minimize any outside or hallway sounds. The bathroom was clean and well-stocked, and the bed was comfortable. The front desk staff was attentive and responsive to our requests, which we appreciated. Breakfast was included - simple but satisfying, with everything well stocked and conveniently available. Parking was easy, and the jacuzzi was a nice bonus during our stay.

Liza

A building entrance with a sign reading '1915 CASA IGLESIA,' an arched doorway, and large potted plants.

Casa Iglesia, a ZenStay Hotel

Oak Park

10/10 Excellent

Property management was on point. They were in constant communication with me the whole time. Despite user error on my part (I thought the keypad was a badge in/badge out interface), I tapped the screen and the keypad showed up. LOL. My bad. Place was super clean, great amenities and I am definitely staying here again. Room was quiet and could hardly tell anyone else was even in the building. Very happy with the accompany it’s location.

Carmen

A coastal road with palm trees, a beach, and a parking lot with vehicles.

Harbor House Inn

Santa Barbara Beach

10/10 Excellent

It's the little things, sometimes, and Harbor House does it in spades! We booked a two night stay so there was a gratis breakfast basket waiting for us in our room--the homemade banana bread is just like mom used to make! The kitchenette is fully appointed with utensils, dishes, even a corkscrew. We found a full-sized coffee maker with tons of coffee and fixins, including flavored creamers. Our suite had a very comfortable bed as well as a pull-out twin which was a pleasant surprise. Harbor...

Bath Street Inn

10/10 Excellent

Very happy with the room, the house very cozy. Staff friendly. Clean. The breakfast was delicious! I would stay there anytime, I just wouldn’t stay on the second floor. I recommend the host tells the guest staying on the third floor to be more considerate when is bed time with the people in the rooms on the second floor. You can hear everything! Guests staying above were very loud, moving around till late into the night. Other than like I said, loved the place!

Simpson House Inn

Upper East

10/10 Excellent

From the time we arrived and were greeted by Katy to the time we left three days later we were treated royally. The B&B is so charming and the grounds are park-like. We stayed in the Sun Room and although small inside, the private deck is amazing! The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The breakfasts served on our deck were delicious and served graciously. The location is so convenient for walking around downtown but we enjoyed the atmosphere at the Simpson House so much that we hung out...

Reda

A two-story house with a porch, a garage, and a white picket fence.

Cheshire Cat Inn & Cottages

Oak Park

10/10 Excellent

Although, I am more of a dog lover than a cat fan. The Cheshire Cat Inn left me purring. We were looking for a quiet romantic lodging near the Santa Barbara Bowl and we found just that. Suzanne was welcoming and accommodated our late arrival by extending the wine & hors d'oeurves hour. Thank you Suzanne, the gesture was greatly appreciated since we had just driven in from Los Angeles. The special touches of homemade brownies before bed made me feel at home. And I absolutely love...

Bella

An outdoor patio area with stone flooring, wooden chairs, and tables. There are palm trees and a decorative stone wall with a statue.
